Mcln tyre, of the battleship Oregon, by courtmartial for the alleged use of language unbecoming an oflicer of tne navy and calculated to destroy the good order and discipline of the navy, during the delivery of a lecture in Denver, Augusta Sth, was begun at 1:30 o'clock yesterl - The members of life court are: Commodore ’■¥. P. McCann, president; Lieutenant Commander William 11. Driggs, Chaplains D. j H. Tribpu and T. A Gill, Lieut Nathan H. Barber. Lieut. Com mander C. X. Curtis and Lieut. Commander J. D. D. Ke ly. The Judge advocate, Captain C. 11, Lauchheimer, read the changes and specifications prepar ’d by the' prosecution. They included alleged ■ extracts from the lecture in which i the chaplain is made to say that' Aimiral Sam; sou reported him-' ■elf within four miles of th- Span-' ish ship Cristobal Colon when she struck her colors, in order that he might participate in tlr prize money, though he had nothing to do with the battle. He was also alleged to have said that when the Oregon went into the fight, if met the lowa, commanded by “Fighting Bob”g Evans, to going rear, where he stayed unit the battle was over. He was also charge ed with saying that the Oregon was the only battleship in the l..vv that w 6 honestly built. E 11 Cranston, of Denver, as attorney for the prisoner, moved that the charge quashed on the ground that the remarks were not of a scandalous character, and on ly such as are used frequetly m the public press and by the people generally. He held that the state 1 - ments charged could not have af fected the discipline of the navy . He also argued that there was j no denial of the alleged statements j and no charge of malicious intent, j and that the charges of fraud in the building of vessels were against contractors, and not against the naval department. Judge Adyocate Laucbheimer replied briefly, ?nd the court des nied the motion to quash. The prisoner then entered a plea of not guilty, and the court ad journed until tomorrow.

While there he will aid in the arrange ments for embarkation and the work of securing transports, supplies, medicines and all else needed by the troops. The President is determined that there shall be no such scan dal connected with the second Cuban expedition as there was with the first, and the entire de partment today is at word se curing all possible accommoda tions and comforts for the troops. They will be embarked at Tampa as was the Fifth army corps, and it is probable that many of the transports used in Santiago and Porto Rican cam paigns will be again employed. In fact, enough of them are still in the service of the Unieed States to supply the demand, unless some extraordidary cir cumstances should require the landing of a very large force at one time. As to where the troops are to be disembarked and how they are to be distributed throughout Cuba, Gen. Lee professes pro found ignorance. lie knows that he is going to take his men to Havana, because that has been thejunderstanding for the past three months, but he says he has no idea where the regu lars or the other volunteers are to be sent. It seems safe, however, to say that at least two regiments will be sent to the Isle of Pines, and the remainder will be distribut ed through the provinces of Puerto Principe and Santa Clara, with bases of supplies at the>eaport cities. There are al ready enough in Santiago. The government seems as anxious to keep its intentions in this re spect secret as it was when the army of invasion was ready to start for Tampa, and there are some reasons to believe that it is right. 1 tried Io find out today when the Third Georgia was to be sent down here, but could not find anyone who knew anything about it. No official communi cation regarding them is on file at the army corps headquarters. The firm of Camp & O’Rear is this day (Aug. 27, 1898) dis solved. All parties indebted to them will not pay unless both names, S. 1). Camp and J. M. O’Rear, are sinned to the bills. —— Taa Much Knife! The use of the surgeon’s knife is be coming so general, resulting fatally in such a large number of cases, as to occasion general alarm. Mr. William Walpole, of Walshtown, South Dakota, writes; “About three years ago, there came under ony left eye a little blotch about the @size of a small pea. < It grew rapidly,and shooting pains ran ) in every direction. I became alarmed and consulted a H good doctor, who pronounced it can- and said that it be cut out. : / This I would not consent to, having little faith in the Indiscriminr'.tcuse of the Knife. Read ing cf the many cures made by S. S. S., I determined to give that medicine a trial, and after I had taken it a few days, the cancer became irritated and began to discharge. This.af ter awhile ceased, leaving a small scab, which finally dropped off, and only a healthy little scar remained to mark the place where the destroyer had held full sway. A Real Blood Remedy.

Niagara Falls, September 26 Peter Anderson this afternoon found a pair of legs floating in the Niagara river near Queens’ou, Ontario. He made search fir the tiuok in ail the eddies, but it was not found. There is every reason to believe that the kgs are a part of the body of Peter Schemin, of Philadelphia There was nothing attached to thorn, h wever to aid in identifi cation. The foot took an 84 or 9 shoe and is quite pointed. B >th legs are badly broken, a> d fasten ed to the lower part of the abdo men, which is attached to the kgfc, is a piece of wire, which leads to the belief that the body was torn in two by being caught in one cf the suspension bridge wrecks in the river. A man name! M. B. Marvin, of Buffalo, has been missing since September 4, but as he was drown ed just above Queeaston it is thought the legs do not belong to his body. Undertaker' Morse of Niagara Falls, South Ontario, has taken charge of the legs, and tonight he is treating them with a patent fluid which acts as a preservative and will keep them for years. He ex pressed the opinion that the legs belonged to a map of med um height, and that they were broken by being caught in rocks If they prove to be Scheinm's legs Anderson will claim SSOO, which is half of the reward of fered Coke cheaper than Coal- Can be used in stoves for heating and cooking purposes.
